The Tooele Chemical Agent Disposal Facility (also called Tooele Chemical Demilitarization Facility) or TOCDF, is a U.S. Army facility located at Deseret Chemical Depot in Tooele County, Utah that was used for dismantling chemical weapons. Destruction is a requirement under the Chemical Weapons Convention and is monitored by the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons. Deseret Chemical Depot held 44% of the nation's chemical stockpile processing began, and it had held some of these chemical munitions since 1942. TOCDF was constructed in the early 1990s and began destruction of chemical agent-filled munitions on 22 August 1996. As of September 2011, the facility had processed 99% of its stockpile.〔()〕〔(Monthly Update ), Deseret Chemical Depot, October 2010〕 TOCDF processed all of its VX, Sarin and mustard gas at its main facility; a smaller incinerator was installed west of the main plant in order to dispose of Lewisite-filled containers. In advance of plant closing, two ponds were revitalized and the surrounded area reseeded as well as 29 miles of railroad being removed (out of 40-miles of rail in Deseret). Disposal of all chemical weapons concluded on 21 January 2012.〔(http://www.cma.army.mil/fndocumentviewer.aspx?DocID=003683880 ), U.S. Army Chemical Materials Agency, 21 January 2012〕 It was the last depot to complete its disposal operations under the U.S. Army Chemical Materials Agency; although two other depots still store chemical weapons to be destroyed by the Assembled Chemical Weapons Alternatives program at Pueblo, Colorado and Bluegrass, Kentucky. ==GB campaign== Each of the weapons listed contained Sarin (GB) *28,945 – 115mm self-propelled rockets (M55) containing 154.86 short tons *1,056 – M56 warheads, which are M55 rockets without the rocket motor (5.65 tons) *119,400 – 105mm cartridges (M360) (97.31 tons) *679,303 – 105mm projectiles (M360) (553.63 tons) *67,685 – 155mm projectiles (M121/A1) (219.98 tons) *21,456 – 155mm projectiles (M122) (69.73 tons) *888 – Weteye Bombs (154.07 tons) *4,463 – 750-lb bombs (MC-1) (490.93 tons) *5,709 – Ton containers containing (4,299.10 tons) All sarin (6,045.26 tons) was disposed of by March 2002. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tooele Chemical Agent Disposal Facility」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
